FOREWORD

The author has devoted to the preparation of this volume
the past twenty years of his life and it is, therefore, a source of
keen satisfaction to him to offer it finally as his contribution
to the Stowell family. And now, upon the completion of his task,
he wishes to thank all those members who have so whole-heartedly
aided him in the compilation of the work. Especially, he wishes
to offer to his secretary. Miss Nellie M. Chapman, his sincere and
deep appreciation for her able and earnest collaboration. To a
considerable extent, it has been due to her efficient and skillful
assistance that The Stowell Genealogy has been brought to a
successful termination.

THE STOWELL HOUSE, QUANTOCK, ENGLAND

One of the oldest houses in England, situated in Quantock,
County Somerset, on the Southern coast, sis miles from the
Bristol Channel.

The Manor of Cothelstone came into the possession of the
Stowell family in 1066 and is of great antiquity as it was built
long before 1066 by a Saxon King and Queen. It then con-
sisted of an extensive mansion, illustrated above, with many
buildings innnediately surrounding it including a church, eleven
fami houses and fifty-four cottages. It was retained by them
in an unbroken line from 1066 to 1820,

The Stowell Genealogy

THE ORIGIN OF THE FAMILY

Although the compiler has been unable to discover the par-
entage of our common ancestor, the Samuel Stowell who settled
in Hingham, Mass., it is reasonably certain he belongs to the
Stowell or Stawell family that settled in County Somerset,
England, over eight hundred years ago.

During my several visits to England I have interviewed
every Stowell living in London or its vicinity and while they
could throw no light on the main point of my inquiry, viz.
Samuel's parentage, they all traced their own family back to
Somerset and were positive there were no Stowells in England
excepting those who originated in Somerset, hence a brief refer-
ence to the earlier generations as probable ancestors may be of
interest.

The founder of the family was the Norman knight Adam,
who came over with William the Conqueror in 1066 and his ser-
vices were rewarded by giving him the manor called '*de
Coveston or de Cothelstone" and the manor of "de Stawelle"
in Moorlinch, County Somerset.

Gerard in 1633 wrote: "The Manor of Cothelstone dates
back to long before the Conquest of 1066, when a Saxon King
and Queen are said to have been its founders. They secluded
themselves within its walls in fulfilment of a vow taken at the
Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem. It has more the appearance of
a cloister than a knightly castle such as the warrior, Sir Adam,
might have desired."

"Cothelstone is a very remarkable place on account of its
great antiquity, being one of the oldest homes in England, sit-
uated six miles from the Bristol Channel, in Quantock, County
Somerset. It came into the possession of the Stawell family in
1066. At that time the manor consisted of a beautiful and ex-
tensive mansion with many buildings belonging to it and im-
mediately clustered around it, including the Church, eleven
farm houses and fifty-four cottages. This manor has been re-
tained in the Stawell family in an unbroken line, from oldest
son to oldest son, from 1066 down to the present time."

8 The Stowell Genealogy

"On the summit is a round tower, nothing whatever being
known of its builder or the date of its erection. From it a mag-
nificent view is obtained, said to be the most extensive in
England."

The manor of "de Stawelle" also dates back to old Saxon
times when it was known as "Estawella" or Eastern Spring.

Originally these Norman knights were known only by their
Christian names, but gradually they adopted for purposes of
identification, as their surname, the name of the manor or estate
where they lived. Thus Sir Adam became Sir Adam de Coves-
ton. This was very soon changed to Sir Adam de Cothelstone
and later on to Sir Adam de Stawelle.

The titled branch inherited by the eldest son was very in-
fluential in the 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th centuries and in the
time of the Civil Wars was the most prominent family in South
Western England, as they had acquired by marriage or purchase
some twenty-six additional manoi^s or estates vnth. the church
livings and advowsons that accompanied them. They built one
of the largest mansion houses in England. They were royalists
and staunch supportel^ of the Stuarts. When the Parliamen-
tary Party and Cromwell came into power their estates were
confiscated and their mansion house and the church badly dam-
aged and Sir John Stawell was Imprisoned for several years in
the Tower of London, living in poverty with his health com-
pletely broken down.

Under Charles II a restoration was made of such property
as remained and his son Ralph as recompense was created on
the fifteenth of January, 1683, a Baron under the title of "Lord
Stawell of Somerton," named after one of the other manors.

Later, when the title of Baron lapsed owing to the failure
of male issue it was continued by special Act of Parliament
upon the daughter Mary as Baroness Stawell, 21 May 1760, with
the right of inheritance by her male descendants, but after a
few generations the title of Baron again became extinct owing
to the lack of male issue.

Some of the younger sons were created Knights in their
own right through their ability and prominence and thus ac-
quired the title of Sir and sen'cd as members of Parliament
and in other high offices.

COTHELSTONE CHURCH, QUAXTOCK, EXGraT

The church is quite near the Manor House and was always
a part of it and the livings and advowsons belonged to the
Stowell family.

It is of great antiquity and contains old medallions of
ancient stained glass and monuments and tombs of the Stowell
family dating back to 1300.

The Stowell Genealoqt 9

As the family title carried with it the control of so many
church livings and advowsons, quite a large number of the de-
scendants of the younger branches went into the ministry and
naturally fell into the livings which were within the gift of the
family. The most prominent was Hugh Stowell of Manchester
and the Isle of Man, who was the Henry Ward Beecher of
England and the most eminent and eloquent preacher of his day.

The church at Cothelstone is quite near the Manor House
and was always a part of it. In the windows are some excel-
lent specimens of ancient stained glass. The most interesting
objects, however, are the tombs and monuments of the Stawell
family dating back to the year 1300. Members of the Stawell
family have been worshippers in it continuously from 1066 to
1820.

The church at Hingham, Mass., which was organized in
1635 and attended by Samuel Stowell, the immigrant, has had
Stowell worshippers continuously from 1649 to the present day.
While not the oldest church society or organization, the church
building itself, erected in 1680, is the oldest meeting house in
America that has been continuously used for public worship,
hence the church at Cothelstone and the church at Hingham
have between them had Stowell worshippers from 1066 to the
present time.

Samuel was not a common name in the family in the early
days. In Col. George D. Stawell 's History of the Stawell fam-
ily, the name of Samuel does not appear in a single instance
until recorded in the Registers of Bath and Chudleigh in 1562.
Forty Stowells are mentioned therein; thirty-five of th£se are
speUed Stowell and five are spelled Stawell. The name of Sam-
uel appears in the Bath Abbey Register which gives the birth of
a Samuel Stowell on the 5th of January 1581 and the Chudleigh
Parish Register gives the death of a Samuel Stowell, 7th of
December 1628, probably the same Samuel. He may have mar-
ried and had children though I find no record either of his mar-
riage or of any children.

Possibly our immigrant Samuel may have been a son of
his. We know the date of death of our Samuel to be in 1683,
but as we do not know his age at time of death, we cannot defin-
itely fix upon the date of his birth, but indications point to about

10 • The Stowell Geneaixxit

1625. As far as dates are concerned this would fit in with his
being the son of the above Samuel who died in 1628.

Although there were a few scattered families there prior to
that date, the real settlement of Hingham, Mass., occurred in
1635 when a large colony from Hingham, England, came over
with the Rev. Peter Hobart among them as their pastor and or-
ganized the town naming it Hingham after their old English
home.

This would make Samuel about ten years old at that time.
He may have been brought over by some relative on his mother's
side, or by some friend of the family or as an orphan appren-
ticed to one of the immigrants. This was probably the case for
his name does not appear on any of the ship's registers or in
any of the Hingham records until his marriage in 1649 to Mary
Farrow is recorded in Hobart 's Diary.

THE NAiME

The Stawell Barons always spelled their name "Stawell"
in their personal signature to deeds, letters, documents, etc.
Owing to their large land holdings they were very frequently
involved in law suits. In these Court records it is generally
spelled ''Stawell" though "Stowell" sometimes appears. In
other records as of births, deaths and marriages, and especially
in regard to others than the titled family, it is very often spelled
Stowell.

In England the name is always spelled either "Stawell'' or
"Stowell," never in any other way. In earlier times "Stawell"
predominated. At present as many spell it "Stowell"
as "Stawell."

In America it has never been spelled "Stawell." The orig-
inal immigrant spelled it "Stowell" and that form is generally
used, although "Stoel" is quite common.

In all the vital statistics of births, deaths and marriages,
and in all deeds, wills and court records it is given as "Stowell"
in all of the first three generations, viz: in those of the ori<:inal
immigrant Samuel, in thase of his six sons, Samuel-, Jolm=,
David-, William-, Israel-, and Benjamin- and in those of his
eleven grandsons, viz. :

, THE FIRST CHURCH, HINGHAM, MASS.

, ''THE OLD SHIP"

The above churcii was built in 1680, and is the oldest churchy J
building in America which has been continuousry used for church "''
purposes. The Hingham Church Society was formed in 1635,.
and a church was then built which was used for 45 years, but
proving too small the present church was erected. Since 1635
there have been but six pastors. The average years of their
service has been 49 and their average age at death 82. Samuel
Stowell worshipped in both churches and his descendants still
worship there.

Benjamin^, son of Benjamin^.
IsraeP and Isaac^, sons of IsraeP.

SamueP, David^, Jonathan", John^, Benjamin^, and Nathan-
ieP, sons of David-.
In the case of David^, Jonathan^, and NathanieP, however,
while it appears as ''Stowell" in all of their earlier records, it
sometimes appears as ' ' Stowell ' ' and sometimes as ' ' Stoel ' ' after
they moved to Ashford, Conn.

Seven of these eleven grandsons, viz. : SamueP, John^ Ben-
jamin^, IsraeP, Isaac^, SamueP and Benjamin^ and their de-
scendants remained in Hingham, Newton or Watertown, Mass.,
where their name appears in the records many times, always
spelled Stowell. Three of these eleven grandsons, viz. : David^,
Jonathan^ and NathanieP went to Pomfret, Conn., and remained
there, or in adjoining towns, where their name and that of their
descendants frequently appears spelled both ways. Their
brother John^ also bought land in Pomfret at about the same
time, but he never lived there permanently; however, his name
appears there once as "Stoel."

Ten of these eleven grandsons married and had eighty-three
children whose names are recorded one hundred and eighty-eight
times as "StoweU'' and eighteen times as "Stoel" as follows:
SamueP had 5 children recorded 15 times as Stowell and
0 times as Stoel. John^ had 8 children recorded 21
times as Stowell and 0 times as Stoel. IsraeP had 9
children recorded 19 times as Stowell and 0 times £ls
Stoel. Isaac^ had 11 children recorded 27 times as
Stowell and 0 times as Stoel. Benjamin^ had 10 child-
ren recorded 22 times as Stowell and 0 times as Stoel.
SamueP had 9 children recorded 18 times as Stowell
and 0 times as Stoel. David^ had 12 children recorded
26 times as Stowell and 10 times as Stoel. Jonathan^
had 4 children recorded 3 times as Stowell and 4 times
as Stoel. John^ had 8 children recorded 15 times as
Stowell and 1 time as Stoel. NathanieP had 7 child-
ren recorded 22 times as Stowell and 3 times as Stoel.
Total, 83 children recorded 188 times as Stowell and
18 times as Stoel.

12 ' The Stowt:ll Genealogy

It first appears as "Stoel" in a deed to Jonathan dated at
Ashford, Conn., 31 April 1728 and again in deeds to him in
1733 and 1735. It then appeai-s as "Stoel" in a deed to David
dated Ashford, Conn., 22 Aug. 1740. As both deeds were exe-
cuted in Ashford, the "Stoel" may have been written into them
by the seller of the property or by the lawyer who drew them up,
but most probably it was written "Stoel" by the to^^^l clerk
when recording them. In any event that method of spelling
originated in Ashford, Conn., and has been followed until the
present day by many of the descendants of David and Jonathan.
The descendants of the others retained the original way of spell-
ing.

However, previous to 1728, it was spelled "Stowell" in the
ease of Jonathan, in all the statistics of his birth, death and
marriage, and was also spelled "Stowell" in seven deeds record-
ed in Jonathan's name in Middlesex County, Mass., before he
moved to Connecticut.

It was spelled "Stowell" previous to 1740 in the case ot
David, in all the statistics of his birth, death and marriage and
was spelled " Stowell " in seven deeds recorded in David's name
in Middlesex County, Mass., before he moved to Connecticut and
was also spelled "Stowell" in nine deeds recorded in David's
name in Pomfret after he moved to Connecticut.

After 1728 there were eleven deeds recorded in Ashford,
Conn., in the name of Jonathan Stoel. After 1740 there >Tere
two deeds recorded in Ashford, Conn., seventeen in Willington,
Conn., and three in Windham, Conn., in the name of David Stoel.

There are several instances where members of the same
family spelled their name differently and in some cases like that
of David and Jonathan cited above, the same individual spelled
it sometimes as "Stowell" and sometimes as "Stoel."

Thus it will be seen that for the first eighty years of the
family's existence in America, the name was always spelled
"Stowell" never "Stoel."

THE SEARCH FOR SAMUEL

The early settlers of New England scrupulously preserved
their church and the public records and it is owing to these cus-
toms that we have such a full record of the first four genera-
tions, marred only by the destruction of some of them by fire.

The Stowell Genealogy 13

During the French and Indian Wars the Colonial troops,
marching on their way to Canada through the then wilderness
now known as Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, were not
slow in recognizing the fertility of the soil and the possibilities
of acquiring larger farms on easier terms than could be obtain-
ed in their home towns, which were becoming too crowded for
farming purposes ; hence there followed a large emigration into
this new territory which these wars opened up.

After the Revolution a still larger emigration took place
into New York and the western territory beyond. This being
a wilderness, church and town organizations were slow in form-
ing and the same care was not taken as in the original settle-
ments, so the vital statistics were deficient and consisted quite
largely of what were kept in the family Bible. These old Bibles
were gradually lost and are now very rapidly disappearing.

Believing it was necessary for some one to rescue from ob-
livion at once, before it was too late, this still existing but fast
disappearing material, the compiler commenced about twenty
years ago to gather data about our Stowell ancestors. He also
believes he has had exceptional facilities in making his research-
es, because being a life member of the Minnesota Historical So-
ciety at St. Paul, where he then lived, he had the "free run" of
their most excellent library, that is, he had the privilege of go-
ing back among the shelves and taking down the books himself
and did not have to fill out a card and wait for an attendant
to bring the book to the reading room. He also enjoj^ed, for the
same reason, similar privileges at the well known New England
Historic Genealogical Society in Boston and being an ex-member
of Congress had the same courtesy extended to him by Mr.-
Spofford, the librarian of the Congressional Library at Wash-
ington, where he spent several months in research work.

While on a trip up the Nile in 1898-9, I had the good for-
tune to become acquainted with Sir John Evans, the well known
Egyptologist, a Director of the British Museum and next to
Lord Kelvin, the most noted scientist of his day in England.
He was then on a mission to investigate for them the authen-
ticity of some Egyptian palimpsests. He was also President of
several Scientific and Antiquarian Societies, among them The
Society of Antiquaries, of London, the leading genealogical so-
ciety of England.

14 The Stowell Genealogy

When I went to London, I was introduced by him to the
Society of Antiquaries at Burlington House where I had the
' ' free run ' ' of their library ; also to the British Museum and to
Somerset House and to Sir Henry Maxwell Lyte, in charge of
the Records at Chancery Lane, and to Lord Sherborne, the
present representative of the titled Stowells and the custodian
of all their papers and documents.

Any one who knows how difficult it is for an outsider, even
for an Englishman who is not a member, to cross the threshold
of an English Club or Society, can appreciate what an advan-
tage this introduction was. I personally examined every book
in the Society of Antiquaries, searching for the date and place
of birth and the parentage of our common ancestor Samuel, but
without success.

In 1913 I commissioned the well known genealogist J. Gard-
ner Bartlett to search in England for the ancestors of Samuel
Stowell, but the "World War so completely paralyzed all such
efforts that he was compelled to give up and return to America
in 1915, before he had completed the examination. While he
covered most of the ground, there is still much to be examined.

His report herewith shows what records he examined, so
that anyone who desires in the future to resume the search
can take it up where he left off and thus avoid duplication.

' ' My dear Mr. STO^^^ELL :

The following sources were examined during a search in
1914 and 1915 for the English ancestry of Samuel Stowell.

Lists were made of all Stowell wills to the year 1690 in the
Prerogative Court of Canterbuiy and in all the local Probate
Courts covering the Counties of Beds, Berks, Bucks, Cambridge,
Cheshire, Derby, Devon, Dorset, Essex, Gloucester, Hants, Herts,
Hunts, Kent, Lancaster, Leicester, Lincoln, Norfolk, Northamp-
ton, Nottingham, Oxford, Rutland, Somerset (Wells and
Taunton), Stafford, Suffolk (Bury St. Edmunds, Ips^^^ch and
Norwich), Surrey, Sussex, Warwick, Wiltshire, AVorccster and
York.

Abstracts were made of all the Stowell WiHs in the Pre-
rogative Court of Canterbury and of the Somerset Wills at

The Stowell Genealogy 15

Wells and Taunton ; the few Stowell Avills found in all the other
Courts were read but not abstracted. No Samuel Stowell was
found in any of these wills.

Sixteen Stowell suits were found in the Star Chamber
Courts between 1558 and 1603. These were examined but no
mention of a Samuel Stowell was found.

About 100 Stowell suits were found in the Court of Chan-
cery between 1558 and 1714; these were all examined, but no
Samuel Stowell was found.

In the Court of Request from 1603 to 1625 no Stowell
suit was found.

The Parish Registers of Meare and Glastonbury were ex-
amined. No Stowell item was found although there was a John
Stowell on the subsidy or tax list of 1628 at Meare.

As the Stowell family was located principally in Somer-
setshire, I have the theory that Samuel Stowell of Hingham,
Mass., was brought over from England by some relatives, not
of his family name, Avho came from Somersetshire and settled in
Hingham, like the Otis, Gill, Lane, Frye and some other fam-
ilies, but I was not able to find proof to establish this theory.

16 The Stowell G-enealogy

Of the six married sons of SamueP, three, viz: Samuel- John^
and Benjamin^ had only one married son each. William- had
one daughter, but no sons. David^ had ten children, with five
married sons and eighteen married grandsons, and Israel^ had
five children, with two married sons and eleven married grand-
sons; so these two were the prolific founders of the family and
the average was seven and one-half each, though the whole
family of SamueP only averaged four and one-half.

The next three generations had an average of seven and one-
half as an unusually large proportion lived and married. This
does not mean that a family of eight would quadruple or be four
times larger than their progenitors. On the average nearly one-
fourth of the children die in infancy. Some do not marry and
of those who do some have no children, so the practical result is
that only about one-half of the children marry and have families ;
but these three generations with an average of seven and one-half
children actually about tripled the number of Stowells in
existence for each generation. Since then there has been a
falling off.

Something has been found out about every Stowell mention-
ed in the first four generations except about Josiah^ and Eliza-
beth^, the children of David- and Elizabeth*, daughter of SamueP
David^. As I can find no record of either their death or mar-
riage, they probably died in infancy.

THE STOWELL HOUSE, HIXGHAM, MASS.

One of the oldest houses in America, on Fort Hill Street,
at the foot of the hill on wliich stood the old fort prior to King
Philip 's War.

The streets were then mere grassy lanes without sidewallvs.
The houses were of logs with thatched roofs and oiled paper
for windows. Here Samuel Stowell lived. Later, on the same
spot, over 250 years ago, the above house was built. It is still
standing and has been occupied by at least five generations of
Lue descendants of Samuel Stowell.

FIRST GENERATION

1. SAMUEL^ STOWELL was a blacksmith. In those days,
especially in a small community like Hingham, the village black-
smith was a very useful member. He not only shod the horses,
but repaired all the wagons, farming tools and implements and,
what was of great importance, the fire arms with which those
pioneers defended their homes and property. His work was
humble and undoubtedly crude measured by modern standards,
but it covered a wide scope, was essential and apparently was
well done for he stood well and was a respected member in that
rather dignified and self respecting community, for his descend-
ants all married into the best families of Hingham and Newton.

Samuel does not appear to have taken any part in the polit-
ical or official or church life of Hingham for his name does not
appear as an office holder. Bringing up a large family seem-
ingly engrossed all his time and thoughts. His mental character-
istics are shown in that clause of his will wherein he provided for
his wife and children.

The will of SamueP Stowell was dated 27 Oct. 1683, probated
30 Jan. 1683-4. Wife Mary and sons Samuel and David Stowell
appointed Administratrix and Administrators. "To wife Mary
for her maintenance and the bringing up of my children, not al-
ready brought up, during the time of her widowhood, then on her
marriage or decease, the estate is to be divided among my child-
ren, both sons and daughters, my eldest son Samuel to have a
double share. My beloved friends Capt. John Jacob and Thomas
Lincoln to be overseers of my estate." Inventory £185.1.2
(Suff. Prob., Vol. 6, p. 447.)

Residence, Fort Hill Street, Hingham. Had a lot in Hing-
ham granted to him in 1656 and drew lot No. 4, his share in un-
divided land in Cohasset in 1670. "At a town meeting 12 Dec.
1677, the inhabitants who are proprietors of the undivided com-
mon lands in said Hingham give and grant unto Samuel
Stowell to hi-3 heirs and assigns forever, the 59th lot in 4th
Division of land in said Hingham and Weymouth, containing
ten and one-half acres, etc."

18 The Stowell Genealogy

Samuel was bom in England and died in Hingham, Mass.,
9 Nov. 1683. He married 25 Oct. 1649, Kary Farrow, daughter
of John and Frances Farrow, bom in Hingham, County Nor-
folk, England, 22 Sept. 1633. She died in Hingham, Mass.,
24 Oct. 1708, age 75. She married second, 10 Oct. 1689, Joshua
Beal, a widower who lived on an adjoining lot and was a select-
man of Hingham from 1669-1699 and a Deputy to the General
Court for Hingham in 1700.

Her parents, John and Frances Farrow, sailed from Eng-
land in 1635, when Mary was two years old. They settled in

Dec. 1771, gives personal property £27.13.4 and real estate in
Abington, We^onouth and Hingliam £862 (Suff. Prob. 14920).
His sister Rachel having died before him in 1748, unmarried,
William apparently divided his estate among six of the chil-
dren of his sister Hannah (Stowell) Briggs and four of the
children of his brother Samuel, one-tenth tO' each, viz.: to John
Briggs, Seth Briggs, James Briggs, William Briggs, Rachel
Hatch, wife of Jonathan Hatch, and Hannah Holmes, wife of
John Holmes, who were children of Hannah, and to Adam
Stowell, Joseph Stowell, Samuel Stowell and Rachel Remington,
wife of Thomas Remington, who were four of the children of
Samuel; but he does not mention Obadiah, the other son of
Samuel, or 0"badiah's children.

In appraising the shares divided to Adam Stowell a^d
Joseph Stowell, consideration had been had by us of their
mother's right of improvement in the pieces of land at Hochley
and New Bridge for life (Suff. Prob. 25 May 1772).

THE PARENTAGE OF DAVID, JONATHAN AND
NATHANIEL WHO WENT TO POMPRET, CONN.

The original immigrant, Samuel, had eleven children, seven
of whom were sons. One of these died in infancy; the other
six married. Of the six married sons, four remained in Hing-
ham, viz. : Samuel, John, William and Benjamin ; and their rec-
ords fully appear in the Vital Statistics of Hingham, The
other two, viz. : David and Israel moved to Newton where they
raised large families, but the destruction by fire in 1770 of the
church archives of Newton has left us with very imperfect
data as to the births, marriages and deaths of their children.

The Hingham group, comprising four out of six married
sons of Samuel, left the following descendants:
SamueP who had only 1 married son and 4 married grandsons.
John^ who had only 1 married son and 2 married grandsons.
William^ who had only 0 married son and 0 married grandsons.
Benjamin- who had only 1 married son and 3 married grandsons.
Making a total of 3 married sons and 9 married grandsons.

The Newton group comprising two out of the six married
sons of Samuel, left the following descendants:
David^ who had 5 married sons and 18 married grandsons
IsraeP who had 2 married sons and 11 married grandsons
making a total of 7 married sons and 29 married grandsons.

It will be seen that one-half of the grandsons of Samuel
and nearly one-half of the great grandsons were descendants

Second Generation 25

of David- and over one quarter were descendants of IsraeP and
that the Newton group furnished over three quarters of all the
descendants of SamueP. Moreover, twelve out of the eighteen
grandsons of David^ were children of David^ Jonathan' and
NathanieP. Thus one-third of all the descendants of SamueP
came from these three who went to Connecticut, which is prob-
ably the origin of the general tradition that "the Stowell family
is descended from three brothers." In view of these facts the
loss by fire of the early data of three quarters of the Stowell
family has not only been a serious handicap in tracing them,
but also in separating the children of David from those of Israel
as well as determining which of David's children were by his
first wife, Mary Champney, and which were by his second wife,
Mary Stedman. Its importance is so a,pparent that it has been
considered desirable to give in detail every known fact bearing
upon the question.

During the earlier years of the work of compilation the
prevalent belief was that David^, Jonathan^, and NathanieP were
the children of IsraeP and the work was prosecuted for some time
upon that theory. Some still adhere to it, but I have failed to
find and they have failed to furnish any positive proof sustain-
ing it ; on the contrary, the kno-^ii facts assign them to David'.

They have been credited to David- largely by a process of
elimination. They could not have been the children of SamueP,
John^, "William^ or Benjamin^ (the Hingham group) because
the Vital Statistics of Hingham contain very complete data re-
specting all the members of that group, which data such as dates
of birth and marriage exclude them from being their possible
parents. It will also be noticed that the Hingham records
make no mention whatever of either David, Jonathan or Nathan-
iel, an omission not likely to occur if they had belonged to the
Hingham group, for they were too prominent and too numerous
to have been overlooked by that painstaking community. They
must therefore have been the children of either David or Israel,
although there is no affirmative proof in any town record to
show which. If it can be shown by the Court records that they
were not the children of Israel, then, perforce, they must have
been the children of David.

The Administration of the Estate of Israel, and the Court
records relative thereto clearly show they were not the children

26 The Stowell G-enealogy

of Israel. Marriage and birth dates negatively show the same
thing ; hence they must have been the children of David, the only
possible parent left.

It will be borne in mind that no known fact conflicts with
this theory, while under it every fact is possible; furthermore,
from wills, baptisms and other sources all the other children of
both David and Israel can be properly placed and accounted for.

Administration of Estate of Israel Stowell.
Midd. Prob. No. 15587, 6 Sept. 1725. Administration was granted

on the Estate of Israel Stowell, late of Newton, deceased,

to Israel Stowell liis eldest son, etc.
7 Jan. 1726. Appraisers appointed, Joseph Ward, William

Marean, John Stone. Bondsmen, Israel Stowell, weaver of

Newton, Joseph Ward, husbandman.

27 April 1726. The following heirs sign the appraisal of the

estate signifying their approval : ' ' Israel Stowell, eldest son ;
Abigail Stowell and Elizabeth Stowell of full age; Eobert
Murdock guardian of Isaac Stowell and Temperance Stow-
ell, minors."

Vol. 17, p. 491. 14 Nov. 1726. The estate could not be divid-
ed without prejudice to its value so the Judge "at the nom-
ination of Israel Stowell, the deceased's eldest son, Abigail
Stowell and Elizabeth Stowell, daughters of full age and
Robert Murdock, guardian of the two minor children of
said deceased, appoints Joseph Ward, William Marean
and John Stone, all of Newton, to appraise the estate."

14 Nov. 1726. The guardianship of Isaac Stowell, a minor in
his 19th year, and of Temperance Stowell in her 15th year,
two children of Israel Stowell, late of Newton, deceased,
intestate, at their own election, is committed to Robert Mur-
dock of said Newton, yeoman. Israel Stowell, weaver,
surety.

10 Jan. 1727. The heirs of Abigail Stowell, Elizabeth Stowell
and Robert Murdock, guardian, sign Israel's account.

Vol. 45, p. 286. 9 Nov. 1736. Isaac Stowell of Dcdham, weaver ;
Abigail Pease, wife of Josiah Pease of Upton, Worcester
Co., husbandman; Elizabeth Stowell and Temperance
Stowell, both of Newton, singlcwomen; heirs of Israel
Stowell, deceased, receipt to Israel Stowell, Administrator,
for their share of the property.

Second Generation 27

The record of the Court that IsraeP is the eldest son is the
crux of the whole question. The Court proceedings covering a
period of over ten years make no mention of David, Jonathan or
Nathaniel, an omission hardly possible had they been Israel's
children. The following facts about Israel's children are, how-
ever, established.

1. Abigail, the oldest child, was born in Hingham per Hing-
ham records 13 Sept. 1699. We know Israel moved to
Newton in 1700.

2. Israel designated by the Court as the oldest son was bom

about 1703 after the family moved to Newton.

3. Elizabeth designated by the Court as of full age in 1726 was
bom about 1705. .

4. Isaac, guardianship records state he was in his 19th year
in 1726, hence bora about 1708.

5. Temperance, guardianship records state she was in her 15th
year in 1726, hence born about 1712.

As IsraeP, born about 1703, was the eldest son as shown by
the Court Records, then David^, Jonathan^ and NathanieP —
if they were his brothers — must have been born after 1703 and
must also have been bom in the years intermediate between the
births of Israel, Elizabeth, Isaac and Temperance; hence David
could not have been bom earlier than 1704 and Jonathan not
earlier than 1706.

We know that David married Patience Herrington, 2 May
1716 ; that he bought land in Newton, 1 May 1717, and executed
a mortgage 4 Jan. 1718 ; hence if David^ was the son of IsraeP
as claimed, he was only twelve years old when he married
Patience in 1716 ; only thirteen years old when he bought that
land in 1717; only fourteen years old when he executed that
mortgage in 1718 and only fifteen years old when Elizabeth was
born in 1719.

We know that Jonathan^ married Margaret Hammond,
8 Oct. 1719 ; bought land in 1718 and sold land in 1721 ; there-
fore, if he were a son of IsraeP as claimed, he was only thirteen
years old when he married; only twelve years old when he
bought that land and only fifteen when he executed that deed.
The improbability of these youthful marriages and the impos-
sibility of such land transactions, coupled with the Court records.

clearly eliminate them as the children of Israel-; hence Da\id2
is the only possible parent remaining.

David^ left no will, nor are there any Court records to sho-n
whether he was or was not the father of David^, Jonathan^ and
NathanieP ; but a strong presumption that he M'as the father of
David^ is shown in Supreme Court case No. 16369 where an
Attachment was issued against David Stowell, Senior, and David
Stowell, Junior, 15 D^c. 1722, on account of a bond they had
jointly given R. Dewing. This bond contains the original sig-
nature of David Stowell, Senior and David Stowell, Junior,
and points to a relationship between them ; besides at this time,
there was no other David StoAvell in existence, nor was one
possible.

The strongest evidence that they were the sons of David^
lies in the fact that the 2d Church of Watertown has a record
of the baptism on 20 Nov. 1709, of Da^^d, Mary, Jonathan, John.
Nathaniel, Josiah and Benjamin, all children of ''Goodman
Stowell" and that "Goodman Stowell" and his wife owned the
Covenant and that the five oldest children consented to the
Covenant on that day. All these were his children by the 2d
wife Mary Stedman and were all baptised on the same day.

As we know from other data that Maiy, John and Benja-
min were undoubtedly children of David^, it follows that their
brothers David, Jonathan and Nathaniel were also his children.
Equally strong is the fact that Robert Murdock and David
Stowell married sisters and that Robert Murdock was appointed
guardian of Israel's children, Isaac and Temperance. If David,
Jonathan and Nathaniel had also been children of Israel, Robert
Murdock would have been appointed their guardian. They
were omitted because Robert Murdock knew them to be the
children of his brother-in-law, David StoAvcll.

On the other hand presumptive evidence against David be-
ing their father is found in the case of Benjamin^ a son of
David-, who died unmarried and whose estate was administered
by his brother John^.

Midd. Prob. No. 15585. 22 Dec. 1729. Administration on the
estate of Benjamin Stowell, unmarried, late of Newton,
deceased, husbandman, granted to John Stowell of Water-
town, husbandman, with Samuel Stowell of Watertown,

clothier, as surety; worded "Whereas your late brother
Benjamin Stowell, late of Newton, deceased, etc."
Over a year afterwards the Court instructed John to "notify
the heirs to appear" showing there had been some delay or
difficulty in the matter.

11 Feb. 1731. John Stowell was instructed by the Court to
notify the heirs to appear and he endorsed on the back of
the order that he had "notified the follomng heirs to ap-
pear, viz. Samuel Stowell, Ruth Osborn and Mary King."
This includes the names of all the then living children of
David except the three we are considering. It would seem as
though the absence of their names in the Court proceedings
would eliminate them as children of David, just as we elimin-
ated them in the case of Israel, but there is this difference.
Israel's estate was fully considered and finally settled by the
Court. Benjamin's estate was never wound up or settled in
Court nor considered in the Court beyond the above quotations,
but was apparently settled by the heirs by an agreement among
themselves outside of the Court.

It will be noticed John reports to the Court that he has
"Notified the following heirs" implying he has not notified all
of them, possibly because at that time David, Jonathan and
Nathaniel were living in Pomfret, Conn., and consequently
were beyond the jurisdiction of the Court, but more probably
because John the Administrator also bought land in Pomfret
about this time and lived there for a while and that as Benja-
min's property was personal they made amicable division among
themselves and never clewed up the case in Court.

As there are no records of the birth of David's children
by either Mary Champney or Mary Stedman, the dates can be
given only approximately ; the parentage, however, is establish-
ed by the %vill of Samuel Champney.

Midd. Prob. No. 4242. Will dated 21 Sept. 1692. Probated
6 Jan. 1695-6. Mentions his wife Sarah, sons Samuel and
Joseph, daughter Sarah Clark and grandchildren, Sarah and
Mercy Clark. He also mentions David Stowell and his grand
children, Samuel Stowell and Ruth Stowell, children of his
daughter Mary (Champney) Stowell, deceased; Samuel
Stowell to receive his legacy when he is twenty-one and Ruth
Stowell when she is seventeen. In case both his sons Sam-

30 The Stowell Genealogy

uel and Joseph die without issue, then property goes to
daughters. In a Codicil made 11 May 1694, he cancels his
bequest to his wife Sarah, deceased, and to his son-in-law
David Stowell, but does not cancel his bequest to David's
children, Samuel and Ruth.

This cancellation was probably because David had married
again. As Samuel Champney did not make his will or the cod-
icil until after the death of his daughter Mary and until after
David Stowell had married Mary Stedman, it is evident Sam-
uel and Ruth were the only children of David by Mary Champ-
ney and by inference the other children were by Mary Stedman.
The latter, in the absence of any other data, have been arranged
in the order named in their baptism, which is also the order of
their marriage.

1. David^ married Patience Herrington 2 May 1716 and was

probably bom about 1693.

2. Mary^ married John King 2 April 1718 and was probably

born about 1695.

3. Jonathan^ married Margaret Hanmiond 8 Oct. 1719 and

was probably bom about 1697.

4. John^ married Sarah Ford 1 Nov. 1722 and was probably

bom about 1699.

5. Nathaniel^ married Margaret Trowbridge 22 Oct. 1731 and

was probably bom about 1703.

6. Josiah^ was probably bom about 1705.

7. Benjamin^ was probably bom about 1708.

8. Elizabeth^ was baptised at Watertown in 1711.

Suff. Prob., 27 Jan. 1678. Administration was granted on es-

(Signed) David Stowell,

Mary Stowell, his wife.
Robert Murdock,
Hannah Murdock, his wife.
Mary Stedman, born before 1678, the date of her father's
death, was probably a minor in 1693-4 at the time of the first
sale cited above for her name does not appear on that deed, but
she became of age before the second sale in 1698 when her name
appears. Hannah Stedman married Robert Murdock, per Rox-
bury records, 28 April 1692. Mary Stedman married David
Stowell, per Cambridge records, either on the 7 April 1692 or
7 April 1695. There is some doubt about the date of Mary's
marriage. The original entry in the Midd. Prob. Registry ap-
pears to have been changed from 7 April 1693 to 7 April 1692,
apparently a contemporary correction. The figures do not sug-
gest 7 April 1695, a date often quoted, though the dates of the
two deeds quoted above would indicate it was in 1695 rather
than in 1692. On the other hand, preceding this entry on the
original paper are two other marriages of Dec. 1692 and immed-
iately following it is another of Dec. 1692. As there are only
four marriages in the group, the correct date is apparently 7
April 1692. This date is confirmed also by Midd. Deeds Vol. 18,
p. 220, David Stowell with consent of wife Mary, sells to John
EUis, land in Cambridge, 7 Jan. 1694, showing he was
married to Maiy Stedman before 7 April 1695, unless the Mary
who signed was Mary Champney. Now the codicil to the will
of Samuel Champney, dated 11 May 1694, states that his
daughter M]ary was then dead ; hence if it was his daughter Mary
who signed that deed on the 7th Jan. 1694, then she must have
died and David must have married Mary Stedman in the four
month interval between the 7th Jan. 1694 and 11 May 1694.
Midd. Deeds, Vol. 14, p. 429. Nathaniel Hobart of Hingham-

32 The Stowell Genealogy

David was undoubtedly a man of great strength of character
and of good social standing for his children all married well
and became prominent citizens in their respective communities.
This was especially so of Maiy who married John King and was
the mother of the numerous Kings who occupied such prominent
positions in the earlier days of our country.

Although only sixty-four when he died he had long been
known in New ton as ' ' Old Stowell. '' He was in Woburn in 1686
and in Watertown in 1708, but was identified with Newton. He
was a weaver by occupation. The only office he held was that
of Surveyor of Highways, 5 March 1715.

died young as he is the only one not mentioned in his brother
Benjamin's estate.

Benjamin, b. "Watertown, Mass., bp. 20 Nov. 1709, d. Newton,

Elizabeth, b. Watertown, Mass., bp. 15 July 1711. Although
there is no authority for it, the Elizabeth given by Bond as bp.
15 July 1711 is placed here because it is the only place where
she can be put. She is generally credited with being the
daughter of Da^dd^, but in order to do that they have to as-
sume he had a wife before Patience and they give her the name
of Elizabeth. Davids was hardly old enough in 1711 to have
a daughter, being only 18. There is no record of any marriage
of this Elizabeth; neither is there any record of the birth, death
or marriage of this daughter Elizabeth; nothing but the bap-
tism. She may have been the daughter of David^, for it may
be noted in the deed given above that David^ bought land in
Watertown, 6 Feb. 1707-8 and is described in the deed as ''of
Watertown," and all his other children were baptised there 20
Nov. 1709, so he may have been living there in 1711. She prob-
ably died young for in the settlement of the estate of Benjamin,
who would have been her brother, no mention is made of a sister
Elizabeth, although it mentions all his known brothers and sis-
ters except Josiah, who also probably died young.

David Stowell sells dwelling in Newton, Mass., 26 Oct.
1724. (Midd. Deeds.) As his Avife Patience died, 1 Oct. 1724,

of his homestead preparatory- to moving to Pomfret, where his
name appears in 1725.

Administration granted John Herrington, eldest son,
10 Aug. 1741, on estate of John Herrington of Waltham.

not find that the children of Patience Herrington, deceased, the
late wife of David Stowell, have received anything saving nine
pounds paid their motlier in her life time."

David Stoel was undoubtedly a man tf great encrgj^ and
activity as is evidenced by his numerous purchases of land,
frequent removals to new localities, etc.

the birth of Anna. Jonathan married Margaret Hewett, 6
March 1723, but Anna does not fit in between Margaret, b. 16
Dec. 1726 and Mary, b. 2 Aug. 1728, as there are only nineteen
months between them. Jonathan docs not mention Anna in his
will. David married Mary Dillaway in 1725 and Anna is sup-
posed to be their eldest child. David was a member of Hamp-
ton Church. There is nothing to show Jonathan ever lived at
Hampton.

12. MARY^ STOWELL {David'' Samuel^) was baptised at
Watertown, Mass., 20 Nov. 1709, died 7 March 1770, married
at Boston, Mass., (Int. 2 April 1718) John King of Boston, his
second marriage.

John King, born in Kent, England, came to Boston in the
latter part of the 17th century. He had five children by his
first wife, viz. : John, Elizabeth, William, Richard and Lydia.
Of these Richard died when three years old. His eldest child
by his second wife, Mary Stowell, was also named Richard.
These two Richards have led to some confusion as to which was
the maternal ancestor of the many prominent descendants of
Richard King of Scarboro, but it was unquestionably Mary
Stowell.

There has also been some doubt as to whether John King
married the Mary Stowell who was the daughter of David of

(4)

50 The Stowt<:ll Genealogy

Newton, or Mary the daughter of William of Hingham. This
is settled, however, by the Boston Marriage Kecords and by
the Middlesex Probate. The Boston Records give "John King.
Int. marriage, 2 April 1718 to Mary Stowell of Newton."

Administration was granted on estate of Benjamin Stowell,
late of Newton, deceased, son of David, unmarried, to his
brother John Stowell. 11 Feb. 1731, John Stowell signs to the
Court that he "has notified the following heirs to appear, viz.:
Samuel Stowell, Euth Osborn and Mary King." (Midd. Prob.
No. 15585.)

We know John, Benjamin, Samuel and Ruth were children
of David ; hence, Mary King was the daughter of David Stowell
of Newton. Mary Stowell of Hingham was the only child of
William Stowell and married Nathaniel Pitty of Weymouth,
as appears in the Hmgham and Weymouth Records.

The parentage is further confirmed by the History of Paris,
Me. "Samuel Stowell, John Stowell and Richard King were
among the original grantees in 1736 of Township No. 4, now
Paris, ]Me. ' ' This Samuel and John Stowell are the same as those
mentioned in above probate and were children of David of
Newton and they joined with them their nephew Richard King,
the son of their sister Mary (Stowell) King, in the grant.

The children of John and Mary (Stowell) King Avere
pioneer settlers in that part of Massachusetts, then known as the
Province, now as the state of Maine. They were prominent in
shaping its destinies, were men of great energj^ and high
character and covered a wide field of activity in both business
and political affairs. Their remarkable versatility and command-
ing influence in shaping public opinion, both before and during
the Revolution, and the prominence of their descendants in
Legislative, Executive and Diplomatic positions in State and
Nation has been universally recognized.

Mary King was admitted to New North Church, Boston, 20
June 1725.

Since those Eevolutionary days many descendants also
have occupied prominent places in Legislative, Military and
Educational positions, notably Gen. Horatio King, who was
Postmaster General.

The writer remembers that some fifty years ago, being a
young man, he used to feel quite mystified and flattered at the
marked cordiality shown him by Gen. King during their con-
versations. It was explained later when the subject turned to
family history and Gen. King remarked, "You know the first
King, the immigrant John, born in England, married Mary
Stowell and our family have always regarded her as the mother
of all the Kings in America and have held her in high esteem
on account of her strong character and brilliant intellect and
attribute to her the talents possessed by so many of her descend-
ants. That is the reason I take such a warm interest in the
Stowell family."

1 Dec. 1762, Bond of Administration of John Stowell, yeo-
man and David Curtis, housewright, both of Petersham and
Benjamin Stowell of Worcester, for John Stowell as Admin-
istrator on estate of his late father, John Stowell, late of
Worcester, deceased. (Wor. Prob. No. 57155.)

The town of Pomfret was on a purchased tract. A list of
the proprietors in 1731 mentions David, Jonathan and Nathaniel
Stowell as living west of this purchase. Then it says "The
Thomas Grow settlement was near the Windham line, now in-
cluded in the town of Hampton. A large tract of land west
of the purchase was owned and occupied by John Stowell."
(Hist, of Windham, p. 529.) His name does not appear after-
wards in the records. He was a brother of David, Jonathan
and Nathaniel and evidently bought land near them when they
did and lived there for a short time ; but soon returned to Water-
town for all his children, except John, are recorded as bom in
Watertown. John may have been born in Connecticut.

As the three brothers, Da\ad, Jonathan and Nathaniel,
the sons of David^, went to Connecticut and as their descendants
comprise one-half of all the Stowells in America, it became a
tradition that the Stowell family were descended from three
brothers.

So the three brothers, Israel, Joseph and Enoch Stowell,
sons of IsraeP, went in 1764 to Winchester, N. H. and became
the progenitors of about one quarter of all the Stowells, thus
strengthening the "three brothers" tradition.

They evidently cut loose from their old Newton home for
on the 27 May 1776, they sold, their wives releasing dowers, to
their brother Abijah Stowell "all their rights in the estate of
their father, Israel Stowell, late of Newton."

They were active in organizing towns and in forming the
new state and were ardent patriots in the Revolution. Later
their numerous descendants went to New York and tbe West
and were active there in building up new communities.

bridge, 4 April 1706, Hannah Dana, dau. of Jacob and Patience
Dana. Their fifth child was Abigail, who married Isaac Stowell.
There is no other Hyde family in which she can be placed.
She was over eighteen when her father died and therefore no
guardian was necessary for her and she married a few months
later. She named one son Jacob — not a StoweU name — but the
name of her grandfather Jacob Dana and also of her uncle.
She named another son Thaddeus, a Hyde name, as did her
brother Jonathan who also named a daughter Abigail.

third wife, who in his will gives "to the three daughtei-s of my

26. CORNELIUS^ STOWELL (SamueV David'' Samuel^)
was born in WatertoAvn, Mass., 13 Sept. 1724, died at Worcester,

Abigail Goulding, b. Worcester, Mass., 25 Dec. 1730, d. there
7 June 1812, age 81. She was sister of Capt. Palmer Goulding 2d.

Cornelius was a clothier and lived at the corner of Park
and Orange Sts., Worcester. He went to Worcester about 1744,
soon after it was organized, and was a very active and influen-
tial citizen for sixty years in its civil, military and mercantile
affairs. He was constable of Worcester in 1758 and 1766, field
driver in 1762, fence viewer in 1768-69, surveyor 1772. About
1790, Cornelius with his sons Peter and Ebenezer commenced
the manufacture of woolen goods and after 1804 made a speci-
alty of carpets for the fine quality of which they became famous
throughout New England. They made the first carpets used in
the State House at Boston. They also made calico prints.

Cornelius was one of the grantees of Shoreham, Vt. under
the New Hampshire grant, 9 October 1761, and of Chester, Vt.
under the New Hampshire grant of 23 Feb. 1754 and 4 Nov.
1761. He sold land in Chester, Vt. in 1793. Was one of the
signers of the Royal Protest, 20 June 1774 and remained a strong
Royalist during the Revolution. In 1775, although over fifty
years of age, he was given the opportunity to either join the

Fourth Generation 77

Colonial Troops or to furnish a substitute or to be deemed a
public enemy. He declined. In consideration of his past dis-
tinguished services he was not held under arrest, but was
allowed his freedom on parole, on giving his word that he would
not leave Worcester nor furnish aid to the enemy ; which promise
he kept and after the war was over he regained the good
will and confidence of his fellow citizens.

He was Sergt. in Capt. James Goodwin's Co., Col, John
Chandler Jr's. Regt. for relief of Fort William Henry in Aug.
1757. Marched from Worcester to Sheffield. Was 1st Lieut,
in Captain William Page's Co. from 31 March to 3 Dec. 1760
in Crown Point Expedition.

30 May 1770, Cornelius Stowell was made Administrator
of the estate of Josiah Stowell, his brother, late of Brookfield,
weaver, deceased. (Wor. Prob. No. 57158.)

Will of Cornelius Stowell was probated 1 May 1804,
Nathaniel Faire, Executor. Mentions wife; gives sons Abel,
Peter and Ebenezer one-seventh each; Cornelius Coolidge,
grandson, one-seventh; daughters Polly Redington and Abigail
Carlisle one-seventh each; and the children of his late son
Thomas, one-seventh. (Wor. Prob. No. 57133.)

Stowell, Gentleman, of Worcester. He deeded during his life
time, for love and good will, land to his sons Abel, Thomas,
Ebenezer and Peter.

Fourth Generation 81

vi. Warren. The Bridgewater Mss. p. 90, N. E. H. G. Soc, by
Mitchell, gives Warren as a son of Ebenezer. Warren was a
private in Capt. Abner Crane's Co., 3 Feb. 1779 to 4 May 1779,
on guard at Boston. Was private in Capt. Jacob Haskins' Co.,
Col. John Jacob's Regt., 28 Aug. 1779 to 31 Jan. 17S0. Was
a private in Altrara Washburn's Co., Col. Theophilus Cotton's
Eegt., 10 March 1781 to 1 AprU 1781, at Rhode Island,

The collateral facts clearly indicate that this Warren was
not the son of Ebenezer, as claimed above. Possibly he may
have been the son of Samuel4-3-2-i. First, Warren is not men-
tioned in the will of his assumed grandfather David in 1763,
while Jonathan, Josiah, Eunice and Patience are mentioned.
As Ebenezer died in 1753, before Patience was born, Warren
could not have been his son unless he was a twia with Patience-
in wliich case he would have been baptised at the same time.

Abington is a post-oflace withxa and a part of the town of
Pomfret. Hampton Church seems to have been a neighbor-
hood church on the borders of Windham, Abington and Canada,
situated in Windham village. The town clerk of Abington gives
the birth of Eunice, Jonathan and Anna as being in Abington
and as being the children of Anna. The church records of
Hampton church give the birth of Josiah and Patience as being
in Hampton and as being the cliildren of Hannah. The church
records of Hampton give the baptisms of Eunice, Jonathan,
Josiah and Patience as of Windham, but no mention of War-
ren is made in any of these records.

9 Sept. 1753, Anna Stowell, widow of Ebenezer, was ap-
pointed guardian of Jonathan, age 7, Eunice, age 8, Josiah, age
5 and Patience age one year and two months, but there is no
mention of Warren. This is singular, as being the yoiing-
est, he would need guardianship most.

In Willing-ton deed of 19 Jan. 17C9 Eunice Stoel; of 13 Dec.
1769 Jonathan Stoel; of 37 April 1771 Josiah Stoel and
of 24 Dec. 1774 Patience Stoel, all of Windham, each sell
their one-fourth interest in 90 acres of land left them by
their father Ebenezer to Seth Crocker. No deed from Warren
is found. Note they each sell one-fourth interest.

28. DAVID* STOWELL OR STOEL (David'-' Samuel')
was born in Pomfret, Conn., 7 July 1736, died at Rockingham,
Vt., 7 Dec. 1786, age 50, married at Willington, Conn., 13 Nov.
1756, Sarah Royse, dau. of James and Mehitable (Arnold)
Royse.

are significant, among them being Abigail, Mary, John, Eunice
and Anne, the same as those of her brothers and sisters.

32. JOHN^ STOWELL {Jolin^ DavicP Samuel}) was bom
in 1726, died at Petersham, Mass., 5 April 1791, age 65, married
Sarah Pakmenter, born 8 Oct. 1730, d. Petersham, Ma.ss., 23
June 1830, age 99, or married Sarah Mossman, b. Sudbury,
Mass., 1729, d. 23 Oct. 1830.

Fourth Generation 87

John lived at Worcester until about 1749, then Nichewaug
1749-1759, then Guilford, Vt. 1759, then Petersham, Mass.,
1760 until death. In the intervening five years between the
birth of Sarah, recorded in Newton in 1723 and of James,
recorded in Watertown in 1728, John^ moved from Newton to
Watertown and during this period, probably in 1726, the eldest
son John* was born, though his birth is not recorded in either
place.

That he was the son of John^ is proven by Worcester Pro-
bate 57155, 1 Dec. 1762 where administration on estate of John
Stowell, late of Worcester, deceased, was granted to John
Stowell Jr. of Petersham. Sureties on bond of John Stowell
Jr. were Benjamin Stowell of Worcester, a son, and David
Curtis of Petersham, a son-in-law of John^,

John* was another one of those very energetic men who
figured largely in business affairs, moved often and pioneered
into new and unsettled regions where no official records of birth
were kept and paid no attention to keeping them himself so
that we have scant data of his numerous family.

Of 19 Worcester Deeds one in 1748 describes him as John
Stowell, Jr. of Worcester. Six deeds from 1750 to 1759 describe
him as John Stowell Jr. of Nichewaug. Twelve deeds from 1762
to 1789 describe liim as John Stowell of Petersham.

John Stowell signed a petition to the Mass. Legislature,
15 March 1770 for a new grant for the township of Alstead,
N. H. (Vol. 24, Town Papers of New Hampshire).

5 July 1791, Abel Stowell et als of Petersham, with Ben-
jamin Stowell of Worcester on bond, granted administration
on estate of John Stowell of Petersham, deceased, by Abel
Stowell and John Dimmick. (Wor. Prob. 57156.)

John Stowell and wife Sarah admitted to Petersham
Church, 15 Aug. 1773.

(Wait) Parker, born Framingham, Mass., 21 Feb. 1733, died
at Worcester, Mass., 26 March 1821, age 88.

Benjamin lived on Granite St., Worcester, Mass. He was
one of the proprietors of Rockingham, Vt. under the grant of
1752. Had a house and lot and 20 acres of land granted him
and was living there in 1754. On 11 Aug. 1755, he sold land
in Rockingham to Michael Lovell and apparently left there at
that time for he married Elizabeth Parker, 23 Oct. 1755, and
settled in Worcester where all his children were born.

Benjamin Stoell appears on Muster Roll sworn to at Wor-
cester, 20 Dec, 1748, under command of Maj, Daniel He^•wood.
Marched on an alarm to the defence of the Western Frontiers
bj^ order of Col. J. Chandler.

Benjamin Stowell on Muster Roll at Worcester, 2 Jan. 1758,

Regt. in 1758 and in the same Company in 1759 under General
Amherst,

He inherited land from his father John in Township No. 4,
(Paris) Maine, and was given land for his services in the Indian
Wars, At a meeting of the proprietors in Watertown, 5 Jan,
1774, he was made one of a committee to build a road in Paris,
Me, and on the 22 June 1774, reported to the proprietoi-s that the
road had been built. The Revolution evidently interfered with
any further settlement in Maine, for, during that period, the
family again appear in Vermont at Guilford; but after the
War was over the three eldest sons settled on this land in
Paris and became the progenitors of the very numerous and
highly eminent members of this branch of the Stowell family
which was well known in those days throughout Maine.

was born in Watertown, ]\Iass., 25 Dec. 1732, d. Afton or Bain-
bridge, N. Y., married Worcester, Mass., 24 Nov. 1758, Hepzibah
Persis Rice, dau. of Adonijah and Persis (Gates) Rice, b. Wor-
cester, Mass., 3 April 1740. .

94 The Stow^ll Genealogy

Hezekiah lived at Lancaster, AVorcester and Petei'sham,
Mass., Guilford, Vt., and Bainbridge, N. Y. Was an Innkeeper
at Guilford. Farmer at Bainbridge, N. Y.

Hezekiah was evidently a man of great energy, unimpeach-
able integrity and deep religious convictions and an aggressive
leader among men in times of danger. His varied activities pre-
sent as stirring and picturesque a career as can be found in that
famous historical contest between New York and New Hamp-
shire for the possession of Vermont, in which the "Green
Mountain Boys" and the ''York Party" were the participants
and which resulted in Vermont acting as a sovereign unit by
itself during the Revolution, in an alliance with the other
Colonies against England, but independent both of the other
Colonies and of the Continental Congress.

Bom in Waterto-\\Ti, Mass., we find him at the age of twenty-
two enlisted from Lancaster, Mass. in the expedition under
John Winslow which went in 1755 to expel the Arcadians from
Arcadia. He married in Worcester in 1758 and lived there
until about 1762 when he moved to Petersham ; there he remain-
ed until about 1766 when he went to Guilford, Vt. where he
kept a tavern which became famous as the headquartei-s of the
' ' York Party ' ' of which he was one of the leading spirits. That
the "York Party" reposed unlimited confidence in his ability
and integrity is shown by the fact that their meetings were
held in his house and all their arms and military supplies were
placed in his custody.

Guilford was originally formed under a charter granted
by New York. This was afterwards revoked by the King and
Council, but later was reestablished by them. New Hampshire
granted a Charter to the same land, 2 April 1754, but owing to
the Indian Wars, nothing was done. On the 20 ^larch 1764,
a new Charter was granted by the King Avith full powers of self
control subject only to the control of the Parliament of England.
Thus Guilfoi-d became and was the only independent town in
Vermont and was, in fact, a little republic of its own. Both
New York and New Hampshire granted charters to most of the
other lands m what is now Vci-mont ; hence the coiiiinunity was
naturally divided into two factions. Ncav York feebly defended
its claims. New Hampshire was more aggressive. The move-

Fourth Generation 95

ment to form a new state out of this disputed territory became
very strong and was supported by the famous ' ' Green Mountain
Boys" and opposed by the ''York Party" who had their head-
quarters at Guilford. Both parties vigorously supported the
Revolution against England ; hence the Continental Congress
evaded any positive or final recognition of either for fear of
offending the other side with the natural result that both were
dissatisfied and both ignored the laws of Congress. Each one
also ignored the laws of New York or New Hampshire according
to their preferences.

In Guilford they governed themselves entirely and settled
all questions by a vote in the town meeting. Here the "York
Party" had possession of all the old town records, but for the
seven years of the Revolution they kept no records, not even
of their own proceedings.

Hezekiah took an active part in the Revolution in behalf
of the Colonies. For his services in it and in compensation for
the lands in Guilford taken from him, the State of New York
gave him, in 1783, 840 acres and gave his son Asa 220 acres in
Bainbridge, in what is now Jericho, to which place he moved, 11
July 1786, being the first inhabitant and pioneer settler there.
He first located at Bettsburg (name changed to Jericho in 1789)
on the east side of the Susquehanna River, living at one time on
an island of 40* acres knowTi as "Stowell Island". In 1790 he
moved to the west side of the river to what is now Afton, formed
from Bainbridge, 18 Nov. 1857 ; he was buried there.

Hezekiah is said to have had eleven children. His eldest,
Levi, is recorded as born in Worcester and Elijah and Persis in
Petersham. Asa, the second child, was probably born in Peter-
sham, though not recorded there. The date and place of birth
of the other children are unknown as all the old family records
were destroyed when the old "Stowell Homestead" built by
Hezekiah was burned in 1900.

Hezekiah was one of the grantees of Townshend, Vt., 21
June 1759 and of Chester, Vt., 3 Nov. 1761, both New Hamp-
shire grants. He held the following offices in Guilford, Vt. :
Pound Keeper, 17 May 1774. On the Committee of Correspon-
dence for Liberty, Westminster, Vt., 7 Feb. 1775. Captain in
Ephraim Doolittle's Regt., 20 May 1775. Surveyor, 6 May 1776.

kiah were very active in support of the York Party at Guilford,
Hugh was probably their brother. After the Revolution, Heze-

iv. Mardin or Marvin, born about 1786. I have found no record
of the birth of either a Mardin or Marvin, but in an inventory'
of the estate of Seth Stowell, 26 April 1800, Mardin Stowell is
mentioned as one of the heirs. (Union, Conn. Probates, 26
AprU 1800.)

The Town Clerk of Tolland, Conn, reports that a Marvin
Stowell bought land in ToUand in Feb. 1813, and sold land
in June 1814.

Marvin Stowell, tanner of Cazenovia, sold land to Eliakim
Sylvester, 19 Aug. 1816 and sold land to Isaac Morse, 20 June
1826. (Madison Co., N. Y. Deeds.)

Orlando Holt Stowell of Delphi, b. West Woodstock, N. Y.,
age 68, (b. about 1822) son of Marvin and Lucy (Holton)
Stowell, m. New Woodstock, N. Y., 31 March 1890, Mary Jane
Daly of New Woodstock, b. Fabius, N. Y., age 52, dau. of Isaac
and Angeline (Smith) Daly. (Vital Statistics of N. Y.)

As Mardin Stowell had sisters Olive and Artemesia, who
lived at New Woodstock, which is near Cazenovia, it would seem
that Mardin and Marvin might be the same person.

Jacob Stowell, drummer, in Col. Timothy Ruggles' Regt.
On list 26 July 1756. On return dated Camp at Fort William

To the Honorable Spencer Phips, Esq., Lieut. Governor
and Commander-in-Chief in and over His Majesty's Province
of the Massachusetts Bay and to the House of Representatives
in General Court assembled, 8 Feb. A. D. 1757 :

The petition of Jacob Stowell of Needham, in the County
of Suffolk, blacksmith. Humbly showeth that your Petitioner
served in the expedition against Crown Point the year past,
that your Petitioner went in the Spring and came away with
the last soldiers that marched off in the Fall. Your Petitioner
served in the Company raised by Capt. James Stebbins and
since his decease commanded by Capt. William Humphrey,
in Col. Ruggles' Regt., that your Petitioner was sick before he

Fourth Generation 121

set out on his march home when your Petitioner came to the
town of Sheffield he could travel no further and a man and horse
were sent to the said town and brought your Petitioner home,
which cost your Petitioner the sum of four pounds and two
shillings lawful money.

Wherefore your Petitioner Humbly Prays that your Honor
and this Honorable Court would be pleased to allow and order
that your Petitioner shall be paid the said four pounds and two
shillings, exclusive of his wages, or to do whatever in your Wis-
dome and Justice you shall think reasonable and as in duty
bound your Petitioner shall ever pray.

Jacob Stowell.
The Committee report four pounds
and two shillings in full.

William Richardson, per order.

Jacob first bought land in .Uxbridge, per Worcester Deed,
27 June 1760, and is therein described as of Dedham, and his
daughter Mary is recorded as born in Dedham, his old home,
in 1762. In nine Worcester Deeds 1761 to 1763, he bought and
sold lands in Uxbridge, Douglas and Royalshire and is described
therein as of Uxbridge. He next appears in Vermont, per Doc.
Hist, of New York by Sec. of State, Vol. 4, p. 406-408. 1 Nov.
1770, Jacob Stowell, one of the signers on a petition of the
inhabitants of Cumberland and Gloucester Counties in the
Province of New York on the west side of the Connecticut River
for relief against the New Hampshire Grants, saying disorder-
ly persons in Windsor, Cumberland County had obstructed
the Court of Common Pleas of New York, they claiming juris-
diction belonged to New Hampshire instead of to New York.

He evidently had selected Windsor as his permanent home
though his first purchase of land there was not until the second
of Jan. 1778, which was jugt the time Burgoyne was invading
Vermont. Between that date, 1778 and 1806, his name appears
on seven Windsor Deeds. He does not appear of record to have
lived there until about 6 Jan. 1782, when he renewed the Cov-
enant at the East Parish Old South Congregational Church.
His name appears on the tax list, 7 March 1786 and he was
made a Trustee of School District No. 5 in 1786. In 1799 for
one dollar he gave a perpetual lease to School District No. 12

122 The Stowell Genealogy

of lot 8, Eange 9, which was a part of his property of 240 acres,
"so long as it was used for school purposes." The school was
still in use in 1920.

The following incident which the compiler copied from
the First Church records shows the rigid church methods of
those days. The First Church extended a call to Mr, Shuttle-
worth to become their pastor. Afterwards the Trustees thought
he was too liberal and dismissed him. Most of the congregation
liked him and organized a separate church which Jacob and his
w^fe joined and attended regularly. The old church wrote
Jacob and his wife to know why they had neglected to attend
communion for three consecutive Sundays. After several let-
ters they finally sent a Committee to personally deliver a warn-
ing that if by a fixed date they did not confess and renew the
Covenant they would be excommunicated. The committee re-
-■^•'oA that when they presented the warning "Jacob threat-
ened to foot them out of the house for annoying his wife," so
Jacob and wife were excommunicated, 7 Sept. 1792. Beulah,
Jacob's wife, was restored to the communion, 6 Feb. 1820, some
28 years later, Jacob having died in 1806.

123. AUGUSTUS OLIVER ARTEMAS^ STOWELL

(Oliver* NafhanieP DavicF SamueV) was born in Stafford,
Conn., 4 June 1783, d. Westfield, N. Y., 23 Aug. 1860, age 77. He
mar. first Huldah Warren. He mar. second Mary Stephens
Holmes, dau, of James and Milly Holmes, b. Warwich, Mass.,
15 Sept. 1797, d. Odgen, Utah, 20 Nov. 1885, age 88. Resided
in Watertown, Brutus, Solon and Westfield, N. Y. Went to
Nauvoo in 1846 when the Mormons were driven out, went to
Wisconsin, then to Salt Lake City, then to Westfield, N. Y.

There are so many of the Stowell name who have been
Communicants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints and who have held prominent positions in it, that a
short history of how they became members may be interesting.

They are all descendants of Augustus OHver Artemas
Stowell who was the first one of the name to join. He was a
prominent lawyer of Westfield, N. Y, which place with Palmyra
was the first center of the new faith founded in 1830. The
following account of the way Agustus O. A. came to join the
Church was written by his son William Rufus Rogers Stowell
and has been taken from his family records.

"In Feb. 1833, when Augustus O. A, and his oldest son
Dan were going to Westfield, N. Y. they overtook a Mrs, Brew-
ster and invited her to ride. He remarked 'It is a very cold
day,' She replied, 'Yes, it is exceedingly cold, nevertheless, it did
not prevent five persons from being baptised today.' He ex-
pressed surprise and inquired, 'Of what denomination?' She
replied. 'Mormon.' He remarked he had never before heard
of such a religion. She replied, 'They are a new sect of religion-

Fifth Generation 221

ists and I am now on my way to attend one of tlieir meetings.'
She extended to him an invitation to be present which he
accepted, sending his son Dan home with the team to inform his
family."

"About eleven o'clock A. M;. next day he arrived home
accompanied by a Mr. Higbee who came with him to the saw
mill of Augustus O. A. to buy a load of lumber. An important
feature was that Augustus 0. A. brought home with him a
'Book of Mormon' which had been loaned him by a neighbor,
Mr. John Gould. He told his family what he had seen and
heard, read the book, became absorbed in it and studied it
intently, but made no comment until after he had twice care-
fully read it through, when he closed it with emphasis and said
with conviction, ' That book is as true as the Bible. ' This copy
was of the first edition, printed in Palmyra, N. Y. in 1830 and is
still in possession of the family."

"Augustus 0. A. was baptised in his own mill pond by Elder
James Higbee, the same man who accompanied him home from
that first meeting. Soon after this his wife, his eldest son Dan
and some of his daughters joined, but the second son William
Rufus Rogers did not join until Aug. 1834, a year later."

' ' At this time the Mormons who were actively proselyting
were also being subjected to violent persecutions, their property
destroyed, and their persons assailed by hostile mobs, so they
were forced to move from place to place, gradually gravitating
West into what was then a new and sparsely populated country.
They finally selected Jackson County, Missouri, as their pro-
spective central headquarters."

"In 1834 a military body called "Zion Camp" composed
wholly of Mormons was organized and marched from Ohio to
Missouri to defend their brethern, while the Elders strove to
prevent the disintegration of their Church, already commenced,
because of apostacy through fear and persecutions."

"These persecutions had an important bearing upon the
relationship of Augustus 0. A. to the Mormon Church for they
served to weaken his faith in his religion. He was a stong patriot
and a loyal citizen to his Government which he thought the
Church antagonized. These views caused him to sacrifice his

222 The Stowell Genealogy

religion to his patriotism and he withdrew from the Church.
He was doubtless honest in his motives but in error as to his
facts. He returned to Westfield, N. Y,, resumed the practice
of law and became prominent in his profession, having previously-
been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of N. Y., 11 May
1808. He became intolerant and finally forbid his wife and
children from attending Church or associating with the Saints,
but his son William Rufus Rogers continued in the Church. He
had accompanied them in their migrations to Nauvoo, 111. and
was Captain of a military company in the pilgrimage over the
Desert to Salt Lake City and in all their battles with the hostile
Indians. He was ordained an Elder and rose through all the
various Church offices until he became a Patriarch, the highest
of all except the President."

To make the record complete it might be added that none
of the brothers or sisters of Augustus 0. A. ever joined the
Komion Church. Some of the daughtei^ of A. 0. A. however,
joined and remained in it. Dan, the eldest son of A. 0. A.
joined when a boy, but after he grew up lost all interest in the
Church and remained in New York and Indiana until 1853 when
he started with his wife and family of six children for California,
but was killed while on the way by the Indians at the massacre
at Provo, 16 March 1854. Some of Dan's descendants are
members of the Church and some are not.

Augustus, the third and only other son of A. 0. A., remained
in New York State and never joined the Mormon Church, nor
did any of his children.

Franklin K. Lane, former Sec. of the Interior, writes,
''Never speak disrespectfully of the Mormon Church. It has
as law abiding, hard working and kindly a group of people as
will be found anywhere. They worked a miracle when a few
hundred crossed the continent, going into an unknown waste
and turned that desert that lies around Salt Lake City into a
garden. ' '

Sir William Willcocks, the great irrigation expert, who
built the Assuan Dam in Egypt and developed the greatest
irrigation enterprise in the world, came to the United States to
examine our irrigation projects. He reported, "No where else

have I ever seen people who understand so wisely how to apply
water to land as those living around Salt Lake City."
